Our Rocky Mountain Chapter (RMC) Communications Team takes great pride in our monthly Peak and Prairie
e-newsletter. Our goal is to provide our members and friends important
and timely news, outings and events information, action alerts and more
related to the environmental issues we all care about.

Recently
our talented newsletter designer and Convio admin, Nathan Cook, had to
step down from this position. Now we are seeking a new volunteer who
would enjoy using our web-based Convio software to design our monthly
newsletter, action alerts, and other email communications. As a member
of the chapter's Communications Team, you would be trained to use the
straightforward Convio program to accomplish these tasks.

Convio
is a popular system that is used by many nonprofits, and a volunteer
admin gains free training and experience that could help him or her find
a job in nonprofit digital communications. Undergrads in communications
at most area colleges should be able to set up an internship credit for
the position.

A
short newsletter could probably take about two or three hours to put
together, but the longer newsletters might take closer to five, six or
seven hours. It also depends on experience. It takes less time once you
are familiar with how the newsletter is organized, and with how to do
things efficiently in Convio.

We also ask that you attend our weekly, one-hour Communications Team meetings, most of which are by telephone conferencing.

If
this sounds like something you would enjoy doing—and you are looking
for a way to help support the RMC’s goals to explore, enjoy and protect
the planet—please contact our RMC Communications Team listserve e-mail
at RMC-COMMUNICATIONS-TEAM@lists.sierraclub.org. We would love to hear from you!
